Grab For Business announced an integration with SAP Concur Expense that automatically captures eligible business rides, meals and deliveries. The integration is available to all Grab For Business customers across Southeast Asia through the web portal and SAP Concur App Center.
Why it matters
Research released alongside the integration found that 57% of business travelers delay submitting expense reports or consider the process an administrative burden. The integration is designed to address that manual expense processing burden for travelers and their organizations.
The Grab For Business and GBTA research found 95% of Southeast Asian business travelers rely on ride-hailing, yet only 58% of organizations have formal mechanisms to manage it. The gap between widespread use and limited policy oversight remains unaddressed in the announcement.
The players
Grab For Business
Grab For Business is the corporate arm of the Southeast Asian ride-hailing and delivery company Grab, offering business travel and expense tools to enterprises.

SAP Concur is a travel and expense management platform owned by German software company SAP, widely used by large corporations for expense reporting.
GBTA

The details

Timeline

Market Landscape
Asia Pacific is expected to remain the world's largest business travel market, with spending projected to reach $700.9 billion in 2026. The integration places Grab's regional ride-hailing data inside a widely used corporate expense platform, extending automated expense capture across the region's growing business travel spend.
Travelers whose employers use SAP Concur can have eligible Grab rides, meals and deliveries captured automatically rather than entered by hand. The integration is available through the Grab For Business web portal and SAP Concur App Center.
The takeaway
Organizations that rely on ride-hailing for travel can use the integration to reduce manual expense work for staff. Reviewing whether a formal policy governs ride-hailing use is a practical next step for travel managers.
